PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm out of words for you, my dear
I don't want to cause your tears
I just want to make this clear
So let me try to be sincere

Babe, I'm not worth your goodbyes
I'm a book's beginning, half a line
Can't even make this last song rhyme,
That I don't even care to write

Trust me, this one's not my best
If only I were more depressed
I'd write you something fabulous
Pretend these jumbled lines all match

I could sing you something dazzling,
A ballad written for a king
This shit's not even melody
Because my words don't feel a thing

I could rip off some perfect lyric
Then stand back and take the credit
I could write you something wild passionate
Let you just be damned impressed

But I told you I'm not here to lie
So I've written you this lullabye
A sick refrain, a parody
Just like us,
Just like me.
